Synopsis
In an alternate nineteenth-century Europa still gripped by a lingering ice age, Catherine “Cat” Barahal and her cousin Beatrice are university students caught between the rising science of the Industrial Revolution and the older power of cold magic. When a cold mage arrives to claim Cat under a binding old contract, she is torn from her family and married into the secretive, powerful world of the Cold Mage houses, forced to confront how little she actually knows about her own past.
